      CP brags about being the best place to work - not so !

      Pros

      High profile company with good bang for your buck. Great exposure internationally and the opportunity to work with diverse team members from all functions.

      Cons

      Extremely political atmosphere - esp. at the NYC office. Strict old fashioned dress code which epitomizes the old school attitude. Promotions tend to happen to those who kiss upwards on a regular basis - if you rock the boat too much you will likely be sidelined - you have to "play the game". Also positions tend to change on too rapid a timeline - especially in Supply Chain and Marketing - people do not settle in their position because they know that they will move on within a few months - they tend to leave a mess behind them, but this is never acknowledged by management.
